[rocky knoll]

I locked after in the World and I already was im Omega Lab

[west mountain]

Excellent, so you need to explore the glacial basin area according to the map in phy robotics and you will have a lot of fun in the area over the bridge

[frank agate]

made a neat compact storage room for my base. But are there any bigger storage boxes than these glass ones?

[west mountain]

No, but you can put two back to back to give the impression of a bigger one. But the glass lockers are the biggest.

[steel stream]

Did Alan say you something when you crossed the bridge? (He should hint about something important north-northeast)

[rocky knoll]

Yes he did, I looked after ist all i found was ||a Ice Worm and Ion Cubes, a lot Ion Cubes||

[west mountain]

Oh there is much much much more to find. You have to go north until you cannot go any further. And there are ||alien artefacts, creature eggs to find too||

[rocky knoll]

I had now researced the Glacial Baisn and Found ||the Kahrah Leviatihon||. Now i Build the first Part of Al-An

[west mountain]

Excellent! Now you have to find the ||antidote in order to cure the leviathan from Kharaa||.

[molten siren]

idk bout u guys

but sub zero is wayyyy better than regular

[past smelt]

Next game will be continue of sub zero ig

[bold monolith]

@molten siren, may I ask you to change your nickname please? Edit: no response so I changed it myself. If it isn't to your liking ask for a new one.

[molten siren]

Why do you care about my nickname so much? Also, who are you?

[eternal garnet]

don't argue with mods

[mellow geode]

ignis isn't a mod, he's a playtester with a period 😛

[eternal garnet]

all playtesters are mods

[mellow geode]

but shadow echo isn't one?

[eternal garnet]

all playtesters are mods, if they want to be. It isn't a requirement

[mellow geode]

hmm then why didn't he ban the scammer yesterday but pinged mods instead

[eternal garnet]

for a playtester, mod work is voluntary, and some have not read the how-to, which is fine

[mellow geode]

ok

back to 4546b

[molten siren]

I'm not arguing, I'm just asking a question/

[eternal garnet]

I didn't see the old name, but it can't be rude

[mellow geode]

on mobile i saw 2 squares

[eternal garnet]

ah yes it also has to be readable

[west mountain]

That was the issue then

[livid plover]

I have seen videos out there where people hide the game statistics such as hunger, h2o, meters and all that to take photos

[eternal garnet]

F6 key. It cycles thru several modes

Also the PDA screenshot key removes HUD

[livid plover]

and in switch?

[eternal garnet]

well, the pda screenshot key still works. Open PDA to see it

[steel shoal]

Poor console players

[eternal garnet]

for video/F6, maybe there is a way. I don't know

[molten siren]

Is 4546B the name for the planet on subnautica regular or subnautica: sub zero as well?

[eternal garnet]

it is the same planet

it is 2 years later

[molten siren]

Why is it frozen?

[eternal garnet]

it's a much colder area.
Btw, save often

[molten siren]

I always save, also why do you say "save often"?

[mellow geode]

a planet can have many different places with different climates

[molten siren]

oh yeah because at the end of subnautica original, we see a glimpse of the north pole.

[mellow geode]

though for 4546b it's mostly water and some ice

[eternal garnet]

getting stuck yourself is fine: unstuck buttons. But beaching your truck is very sad and theres no fix

[molten siren]

beaching ur truck?

[eternal garnet]

yes, accidentally driving up on some ice

[molten siren]

there is a fix, just use propulsion cannon 🤷‍♂️

[eternal garnet]

that doesnt work, but prawn push does work. If you have the later-game prawn

[molten siren]

Prawn push?

[mellow geode]

later game prawn?

[molten siren]

u mean with the arm?

[eternal garnet]

just push it with a prawn yes

[molten siren]

Why do you have playtester? What does it mean?

[mellow geode]

he tests games

by playing them

[eternal garnet]

it means I test these two games. Testing is paused now

[molten siren]

paused?

[mellow geode]

no further development, nothing to test

[eternal garnet]

no updates, so no reason to test

any year now, testing the third game!

[molten siren]

third game?

[eternal garnet]

(not soon). Dev on a third has been started

[mellow geode]

here you dropped this meatie: ™️

[eternal garnet]

We don't know a lot. We know: New game engine unreal 5. Which means a bit longer dev time and more realism

[mellow geode]

we also know that the new game will contain water

[eternal garnet]

This has not been confirmed or denied

[mellow geode]

it's confirmed

i'm p sure we aren't playing some alien that doesn't require water, so water for thirst is confirmed

unless the next game has no survival element to it, in which case i stand corrected

[eternal garnet]

fans would riot

[mellow geode]

so yeah, water confirmed

[steel shoal]

Water isn't required for that. We could drink orange juice.

[mellow geode]

fair point, but i'm p sure water will be present as the basic thirst need

[steel shoal]

Although I think Obby confirmed in #off-topic that TNGITSU™️ will have water in some form

[mellow geode]

because, can't be having a game that tells kids to only drink oj now can we

[next current]

No thanks.

[mellow geode]

lol

[steel shoal]

But we can tell them to eat raw live fish

?

[mellow geode]

sashimi exists

[next current]

🤢

[steel shoal]

Gross.
Anyway, it's just a design choice, hope we have choccy milky meter

[mellow geode]

can someone tell me what TNGINTSU™️ is

[steel shoal]

The Next Game In The Subnautica Universe

It is the only official term we have

[next current]

I don't think Alterra has any choccy milk machines.

[mellow geode]

won't that be TNGITSU™️

[steel shoal]

Who said we have to be in Alterra

[steel shoal]

Sorry, typos exist

[next current]

Maybe.

[mellow geode]

i propose that we call it Project Peeper 3 or PP3 in short

[steel shoal]

I dunno, maybe there won't be a peeper

[mellow geode]

i mean, if you think about it
SN = PP1
BZ = PP2
next game = PP3

existence of peepers in PP3 is not significant

[next current]

Who needs Peepers anyways.

[steel shoal]

But maybe BZ was just continuing the 4546B storyline, and SN2 will take place in a new place

[mellow geode]

PP3 is just easier to type than TNGITSU

[mellow geode]

@deep kettle

[next current]

🤫

[mellow geode]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/811295251436273764.png?size=48&quality=lossless

[steel shoal]

TNGITSU is official, though. We will see if they would approve of PP3

[mellow geode]

prolly rejected because of all the potential PP jokes

[deep kettle]

@next current You. Me. Parking lot.

🤣

[steel shoal]

Uhm please don't take the fight to the bushes in the corner, there may be a white cat recording it.

[mellow geode]

hmm... homemade fight vids?

[next current]

What are we gonna do? Play that BZ multiplayer mod together? 😏

[mellow geode]

what bz mp mod

i thought nitrox was only for sn

[deep kettle]

I think it was no longer being worked on.

Someone tried to make one for BZ as well though 😛

[mellow geode]

imo mp mod in bz is prolly not a great idea, given how smol bz map is compared to sn

[tiny forum]

? how does that change the purpose? 😅

[mellow geode]

purpose?

i simply meant that mp in bz is prolly not a great idea given that the map is smol vs sn

[eternal garnet]

I think it'd be fun nonetheless

[next current]

😔

[obsidian carbon]

Finally got the game for pc so I can use mods and wow everything is so much sharper

[next current]

What mods are you playin' with?

[obsidian carbon]

Mostly I just got it for the pets mod that lets penglings wander around your habitat

[fervent bloom]

That looks like one of the best mods for Below Zero. Which pets will you get?

[obsidian carbon]

Got a bunch of cosmetic mods and one that adds removed items back in

[obsidian carbon]

All of them!

Penglings are my favorite but I think if I had to pick a second favorite it would be that weird seal

[fervent bloom]

I quite like the pinnacarid as well. That said, a juvenile snow stalker is also very cute.

[obsidian carbon]

lol a couple minutes ago I was exploring and found a peeper that got beached on an ice floe

Easiest catch ever

[fervent bloom]

They do that quite often - I always rescue them.

[next current]

Totally forgot pinnacarids were a thing in the game.

[fervent bloom]

How could you forget about pinnacarids?

[obsidian carbon]

I always forget the official name so I just call them weird seals lol

[next current]

Because I'm dumb.

Is that reasonable excuse?

[eternal garnet]

no! that's a dumb excuse! so therefore Yes!

[obsidian carbon]

Pinnacarid = weird seal
Gasopod = fart seal

[eternal garnet]

pinnacarid is an actual word, latin, meaning seal family of animals

[obsidian carbon]

Huh

[fervent bloom]

I thought that members of the seal family were known as pinnipeds, and the -carid comes from the Cambrian anomalocarids, which have similar fins on the sides of their bodies.

[eternal garnet]

this sounds correct tho

[next current]

Okay. Somebody's not getting a birthday present from me.

[winged brook]

Hello

How to play multiplayer in below zero?

[next current]

Both SN and BZ do not have built-in multiplayer. They're games made to be experienced in singleplayer.

[winged brook]

So there is based subnautica (original) only with mod?

[next current]

Yeah.

[winged brook]

It is possible in the next future will added a multiplayer?

[next current]

Very likely not.

[winged brook]

Ahh :((

[eternal garnet]

oh, there's a chance

possible? yes. The new engine makes it a little easier, I think

[winged brook]

Come tell me, i want play with my friends

[steel shoal]

In the next title, maybe, but not in SN or BZ. In those, it'll remain a mod.

[winged brook]

@eternal garnet @steel shoal which one should i choose?

[eternal garnet]

nitrox is only for the multiplayer mod, the other for general modding

[winged brook]

It is still work on below zero if i install it?

[eternal garnet]

not at all

[winged brook]

I mean multiplayer mod

[eternal garnet]

all mods have to be for below zero specifically. And there are some

Me too. It does not work at all on BZ

[winged brook]

So its work on based subnautica only?

[eternal garnet]

this is what it means, yes

[steel shoal]

I've heard from one of the Nitrox devs that they are working on it, but it's still not available

[winged brook]

Thank you, i hope in the next time will added multiplayer on mod

[winged brook]

Thank you for the informations

[fervent bloom]

Do any of you have suggestions for good photos to take for my base?

[steel shoal]

I do!

Okay, so first of all

Kelp forests from below are amazing

Arctic Spires are beautiful, especially during sunrise and when there's no storms (Wormy is a good bonus)

Lily pads from below are also pretty good

Crystalline Caverns with from afar is wonderful

[eternal garnet]

wormy eating a snow stalker!
Or just moon, northern lights

[fervent bloom]

Thank you! I'm noting these all.

[steel shoal]

You enjoy murder!? I never thought you'd be like that...

[steady stump]

Hopefully w/ the steam deck OLED, BZ will be ported

[steel shoal]

Is it not?

[eternal garnet]

just look at that

[steady stump]

BZ isn't steam deck verified

SN1 is

[steel shoal]

Unfortunately, dark pictures do get insanely pixelated on console

[eternal garnet]

it plays all the same

[fervent bloom]

That is indeed beautiful - you did well!

[steel shoal]

It isn't verified but it can still be played

[steady stump]

Wait WHAT? I thought it wasn't compatible at all. How well does it perform if you have played it?

[eternal garnet]

I haven't, but I heard it plays fine. Save often

[steady stump]

Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!

Time to disappear for 2 days

[fervent bloom]

I got a good photo of the Arctic Kelp Forest, and it's daytime right now. Are there any scenic animal shots you would suggest?

[chrome cedar]

Basically it works great on the Steam Deck except for the keyboard inputs. You have to manually bring up the on screen keyboard, and even then it’s glitchy. Current update I can only type one character on the keyboard and have it work…

[fervent bloom]

I'm going to need to make some more first aid kits, after an expedition to the ||Crystal Caves||. You'd think 0.2 aggression would help, but... I still got bitten twice.

[broken badge]

This is why I want photo mode for the next game. To take brilliant HUD-less screenshots

[steel shoal]

Would be even prettier if some of you started taking seaglide-less screenshots...

[fervent bloom]

This is true - I try to put away my Seaglide before taking a photo, but sometimes I need to take it immediately, especially if its a fast-moving fauna.

[spark shadow]

why is window not showing up in my habitat builder

[frank agate]

where do i get a parallel processing unit

[fervent bloom]

You might need to scan it first.

[fervent bloom]

You need to scan fragments in the ||Mercury II wreckage||.

[frank agate]

no new beacons after the old womans base though

do i have to explore and rely on luck to find the wreckage?

[steel shoal]

No

[steel shoal]

You can read the PDA, for example

Jeremiah's log tells you where to find one of the wreckages

||"Signal - Pilot - Last Known Position" is near another wreckage as well||

[fresh oriole]

Where can I find snowfox fragments?

[fervent bloom]

They're mostly in the ||Glacial Basin||, but you can find one in ||Marguerite's base|| and one near ||Phi Robotics||, I think.

[fresh oriole]

I already got one in the ||base||

[fervent bloom]

You'll probably need to explore the ||Glacial Basin|| on foot, then, to find the others.

[fresh oriole]

Thank you

Uh, where’s the glacial basin?

[steel shoal]

||Phi Robotics, it's the section with snow stalkers||

[fresh oriole]

Ah

And is there any way to actually use ion batteries as.. batteries?

[steel shoal]

Yes

I don't know which platform are you on, but there should be an icon with the button you have to press to swap batteries

[fresh oriole]

Oh

Oooh

I said it wrong

I meant ion cubes, silly me

[steel shoal]

Ion cubes are for recipes

There's only 1 tool that accepts them as an energy source, you'll know it when you find it

[pliant prism]

Hi all, I recently loaded my below zero save from a different computer and I'm pretty sure the save got corrupted. I went to || outpost zero and the glacial basin|| and some of the caves were completely empty like they had the wall texture but nothing was in them this wouldn't be a problem but I guess two of the caves that are important since one is || the cave with the antidote || and the other is || the architect teleporter cave || is there anything that I can do to solve this cause I've already got like 15 or 20 hours in the save and I really don't want to have to restart

[mellow geode]

are the 2 computers running the same version of the game?

[steel shoal]

That sounds a lot like that bug that when you try to save it stays stuck for a really long time

[pliant prism]

yeah both were updated to the latest version, I even tried to repair game files

[mellow geode]

does the save work fine on the original computer?

[pliant prism]

no its the same issue

[mellow geode]

prolly what andy said then, your save is corrupted

[pliant prism]

that's what I assumed

anything I can do to still progress the story cause || the antidote just isn't there||

[steel shoal]

Go deeper, I guess

[spark shadow]

There are window fragments?

[mellow geode]

the ||kharaa antidote||?

[pliant prism]

yeah

[fervent bloom]

There aren't really fragments; you need to find a window somewhere to scan.

[mellow geode]

technically you don't need that to finish the game, it's an optional side quest

[spark shadow]

ok thank you very much 🙂

[pliant prism]

oh ok

what about the || architect teleporter || is that important

[steel shoal]

You sure? Can you send a picture of your habitat builder menu?

[spark shadow]

ok

[steel shoal]

Probably. You can always go deeper and find out

[steel shoal]

That is

very strange

[spark shadow]

Ikr

[steel shoal]

Windows are usually unlocked by default

[mellow geode]

inb4 ||pirated buggy version||

[steel shoal]

Oh, is that the case?

[mellow geode]

idk, i'm speculating

[fervent bloom]

I thought you might have to scan them.

[spark shadow]

Ill try and find something to scan for them

[mellow geode]

windows have never required scanning

not in sn nor bz

[steel shoal]

No, basic compartments, windows, hatches, etc are always available

[spark shadow]

ik never happened before

played sn before whole game

just only in bz

[fervent bloom]

Thank you; I must have gotten confused. I would expect them to be unlocked, but somehow I thought it let them be scanned once.

[mellow geode]

habitat builder comes with a number of blueprints by default, including windows

[spark shadow]

why isnt it showing up then is the question

[chrome cedar]

I thought you had to scan the window in BZ?

[spark shadow]

ill try and find a window bc everything in bz needs to be scanned lmao

[chrome cedar]

I’d have to make a new game again to test that. There are no window fragments, just windows in some bases.

[spark shadow]

yeah ill try making a new game to see if i need to scan it

[chrome cedar]

Always scan everything. That’s my rule 3 when folks ask for help. Break rocks, build tools, scan everything.

[steel shoal]

What version are you playing?

[spark shadow]

i downloaded it today

or yesterday my bad

[chrome cedar]

Steam?

[spark shadow]

yeah

[steel shoal]

Version number?

[spark shadow]

idk how to check

[steel shoal]

In the main menu, it's on the top right of the screen

[spark shadow]

49371

[mellow geode]

well this is interesting
i started a new survival game and item builder
surprise no window

[chrome cedar]

There ya go.

[spark shadow]

I need to figure out where to scan it

[chrome cedar]

You’ve probably been somewhere with a window already…. Most bases you find will have them.

[mellow geode]

any base that has a window i guess?

[spark shadow]

aight ill try and find a base

im at the part of the game where i ||just got the alien distress call||

i also have ||seatruck||

[fervent bloom]

I think all but one have at least one window.

[spark shadow]

i just went to one with the ||seatruck charger thing ||

[mellow geode]

||mag's lilypad base?||

[chrome cedar]

Do you have the high capacity O2 tank yet?

[spark shadow]

yeah

[chrome cedar]

Ok, that small base that was by that data box has a window.

[fervent bloom]

No, that one has some windows, though you could have to be inside to scan them. I'm thinking of ||her greenhouse||.

[spark shadow]

do you have the coord

[mellow geode]

i don't remember if ||lilypad base has windows, but i certainly remember it having a glass roof||

[spark shadow]

went there and got the glass dome things

large room glass dome

[chrome cedar]

Delta has a window I believe too.

[fervent bloom]

It does in the second large room - the one you can't enter when you first find it.

[spark shadow]

where should i go to get there

[chrome cedar]

You said you were there and scanned the glass roof?

[spark shadow]

idk the way back ther lmao

[chrome cedar]

Delta is easier to find. Or the small base where the rebreather was.

[spark shadow]

i have rebreather

[mellow geode]

rebreather is ||outpost zero iirc||

[chrome cedar]

Right, but there was the small tube base there that had a window.

[chrome cedar]

Nope.

[mellow geode]

nope?

[chrome cedar]

Twisty bridges.

[mellow geode]

oh that one

i was referring to ||the snowman wearing a rebreather||

[spark shadow]

my base is in t bridges rn

[chrome cedar]

So you’re close…

[spark shadow]

ion got a compass rn but ill try and find

i got a base below me rn

im here rn

[chrome cedar]

You’re close, to the right a bit then turn to the left, and up a bit higher, about 120m I think.

[spark shadow]

ok ill try

[chrome cedar]

[spark shadow]

im terrible still cant find do you got coords

found it

aight ima scan window

ok it worked

thank you guys

[chrome cedar]

[young cargo]

Just beat it and holy cow that ending was cool

[west mountain]

Excellent, congrats! Did you ||cure the frozen leviathan||?

[young cargo]

I did!

I kinda progressed wrong and did that before going to ||marguerite’s base||

[west mountain]

Excellent, yes, a bit out of the ordinary but thats totally fine!

[young cargo]

Yeah, when I was down in the depth at the ||alien build a bear|| I kept getting jump-scared by ||shadow leviathans||

[west mountain]

Yes, they are everywhere

[molten siren]

wtf

Anyways, why does it keep saying "can't deconstruct storage container is not empty"?

[west mountain]

It means that there is something still inside.

[molten siren]

Like what?

[west mountain]

Items? What do you try to deconstruct? Lockers? Fridge?

[molten siren]

I deconstructed my lockers and I also deconstructed my fabricator but I still had some paintings and a sign.

[fresh oriole]

Where can I find magnetite?

[west mountain]

As I dont see your screen you have to figure it out yourself. Something is not ready for deconstruction

[west mountain]

Officially in deep lilypad cave, glacial basin caves and ||crystal cavern|| for example.

[molten siren]

Magnetite can also be found at that one architect place where there's a bunch of uraninite.

[west mountain]

Thats deep lilypad cave

[mellow geode]

<@&85343211593166848> scroll up

[molten siren]

[mellow geode]

Thank you mods

[west mountain]

I am still not going to unblock him

[molten siren]

Unblock who

?

[west mountain]

The guy that posted that aweful picture and whorehipping the third reich!

[molten siren]

Yeah that was disgusting.

[west mountain]

But his username and profile picture even more.

[mellow geode]

Let's circle back to 4546b

[molten siren]

It just said "Heil" with some disney pfp thing. But anyways, I can send you a screenshot in DMs of my base.

[fresh oriole]

sunbeam in a nutshell

[west mountain]

If you need help regarding your deconstructin issue, then a picture would be helpful

But again, if you deconstruct something it has to be empty.

[molten siren]

What does the seatruck docking module do?

[west mountain]

Allows you to dock the prawn to the seatruck

Very useful if you go for mining

[molten siren]

oh

that's really cool, where do I find the fragments?

[west mountain]

Purple vents crevices

[molten siren]

Purple vents?

[west mountain]

Purple vents!

[molten siren]

Where's that??

[west mountain]

Where the vents are purple

around the third wreck part of the mercury 2

the thurster section

[molten siren]

sub zero 💀

[west mountain]

Sorry, corrected

[molten siren]

wait but like, there's 2 destroyed thingies. How does the mercury destroyed ship look like?

[west mountain]

Its a destroyed spaceship broken into three large pieces

[molten siren]

Do you have a reference picture?

[west mountain]

You can google it, but if you havent found one yet, then why spoil it

[molten siren]

idk man, I think I've come across it before

[molten siren]

I got a poster of that

[west mountain]

Thats the poster you can find before it crashed

[molten siren]

yeah, I know I have the poster lol

but like

Where's the mercury 2 found? Like, what cardinal direction from the base?

yo @west mountain, you there??

[west mountain]

Yes

The first piece is south of delta station dock

[chilly gyro]

There are 3 parts of mercury 2 two in the purple vents and one in the lilly pads biom if im not wrong

[west mountain]

Just go to deta staton and go south from there, around 30-50m depth

[west mountain]

There are tutorials in youtube how to find anything in BZ, so there are the loctions of all three wreck pieces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTpLO7-D6w4

[chilly gyro]

^

[molten siren]

oh, cheers mate

[west mountain]

But of course it spoiles the game, OK.

[molten siren]

Spoils, how come?

[west mountain]

Well, you dont have to find it yourself and takes away the fun of it 🙂

[molten siren]

finding it yourself takes ages

[west mountain]

Well thats part of the game, isn't it. Important is to craft some beacons and to mark places you have found. So you can always return to them later.

[molten siren]

I always forget to craft beacons before I leave 💀

[west mountain]

You better have one or two or three on you all the time.

You can collected them once you are done, but I leave them. So I can always go back when I want

You can also deactivate the beacon in your pda, so it does not show up all the time

[molten siren]

So from delta station, I go south and I keep going down, what does the place look like?

[west mountain]

You see the back section of the shipwreck. You see it immediately and the PDA will tell you that there is something nearby.

You dont go down actually, you go more around the island heading south. Around 50m

[steel stream]

If you head towards pilot's last known position beacon and pass the delta station dock, you go very near one of the wreck parts.

[mellow geode]

Depends on which way you turn

[chilly gyro]

One is at the edge of purple vents

[steel shoal]

Is everyone here allergic to the PDA?

Jeremiah really helps with locating one of the wrecks

[west mountain]

Depends whether you found it at the time you are looking for the wrecks, but most likely I struggled to differentiate important PDAs from unimportant ones. Mostly they make sense retrospectively. I would have wished they would have highlighted the important part of the message a bit more in the PDAs, so players actually read into them and remember them, when they become relevant. But agree with you, the information is there, sort of.

For example I never get my head around the message about the shower heads. What is that all about????

For example some games make a note in a task list (thats what the PDA is for right) about what you can do next. So when a PDA has an important player information why not put it in a task list. So when you read about the spare parts in a ship wreck, the PDA could have stored that information in a task list for you to work through and tick off once you found/completed it.

Robin could have said something like: "Oh, I have to remember that" or similar.

Anyhow, reading the PDAs retrospectively they make more sense.

[mellow geode]

you're supposed to use your brain, instead of the game spoonfeeding you every step of the way what you're supposed to do, where you're supposed to go etc

[west mountain]

Thank you for your kind comment, appreciate it very much. And blocked.

[mellow geode]

lol

SN followed the same formula and was much harder to figure out compared to BZ. But people still managed to figure it out eventually. I guess people are just used to being told what to do every step of the way instead of exploring the open world and discovering things by themselves, because nobody wants to use their brains to figure things out anymore

[steel shoal]

The voice logs are super fun and they play automatically if you open the PDA after collecting them - although this only works if you have no unread entries.

[mellow geode]

voice acting is so underrated in both games ngl

wonder how many people have heard every voice log/radio message

[west mountain]

Yes agreed, and I love them too. Again its just sometimes hard for new players to make sense of them once they find it.

[steel shoal]

Not being able to find something that is in a PDA entry is a very big skill issue, I wish there was some reminder for the player to pay attention to it

[mellow geode]

it's called a learning curve

[west mountain]

Thats all I asked for, just a little hint what is important and what is story telling.

[mellow geode]

if all else fails they can always come here for help, or google

[steel shoal]

At the start of the first game, the PDA tells you to read it often for increased chance of survival

[steel shoal]

All logs are important, to some extent

[west mountain]

Then explain me the shower head one pleeeeasse

[mellow geode]

some aren't as important as they should be

[steel shoal]

Mercury II logs, not so much, but Alterran ones are really good

[steel shoal]

Which one is that?

[mellow geode]

like i always gripe that the whole ||sam plotline basically got thrown into a corner because of alan, when she was the reason we came down to 4546b in the first place||

worst part is that you can ||basically complete the game without actually knowing what happened to sam||

[steel shoal]

But that can only happen if you ignore the PDAs

[mellow geode]

which many people do

[steel shoal]

Well, they best start reading em

[mellow geode]

because by the time you ||fix the radio and broadcast the test signal, your main mission has already become getting alan out of your head, and when you return to mag's lilypad base, you're more preoccupied with the room that's now open instead of that pda||

[steel shoal]

I'm gonna look for a "shower head" entry

I personally found everything that there is to find in the game before ending (except and 2 music discs)

Lotsa PDA reading from me

[west mountain]

Dont worry, its just one of those PDAs that imho is confusing when you hear it the first time. Just wondering if anybody can make sense of it.

[steel shoal]

I'm asking which entry is that

I can't find any

Is it a voice log? Blueprint?

[mellow geode]

prolly this

[steel shoal]

It's uhhh

[mellow geode]

flavor text lol

[steel shoal]

It's demonstrating how good the mineral scanner is!

[mellow geode]

"good"

[steel shoal]

It may not be very useful, but it's good at scanning minerals

[mellow geode]

i think i used the mineral detector a grand total of 1 time

then i declared it trash

[steel shoal]

I think a good way to separate good from flavor entries is the voice acting

The non important ones are mostly text-only

[mellow geode]

true

[loud hearth]

When I open the game (bought from the Microsoft store) it tries to open, pass the launcher, and then it opens this window and closes immediately, I can't start the game, do you know any possible solution?

I tried, run in administrator, reinstall, clear cache, restart Microsoft account, nothing works

Sorry if it's not the right channel, I don't see another

[bold monolith]

Do you have Subnautica?

[loud hearth]

1?

I have subnautica BZ... does this depend on the previous one?

[bold monolith]

Maybe, the workaround is to replace two DLLs that you can get from Subnautica 1.

I can give them to you if you don't have SN1.

But I would assume you would rather copy files you already have instead of replacing them with files you get from me.

[bold monolith]

Do I send them to you?

[loud hearth]

Can I try...

I managed to get it working by deleting a dll

Thanks anyway

[brave wharf]

can someone give me a hint on where to find spiral plant clipping?

[mellow geode]

||ventgardens||

[next current]

Deep Purple Vents.

[mellow geode]

wait what

aren't spiral plants ||inside ventgardens||

[next current]

They are. They can also be found in the Deep Purple Vents.

[west mountain]

True, but the one in tree spires are more epic to collect 🙂. And the biome has the best theme music: Cathedral!

[next current]

I mean I guess.

[bold monolith]

The only reason you find a few in Deep Purple Vents is because people weren't finding them when they were only inside the ventgardens.

[steel shoal]

Strange, I don't think Tree Spires has "Twisty Bridges" playing, Markus

[west mountain]

Yes, its quite a unique place to hide a plant. Takes some effort to get the idea.

[next current]

Gonna throw it out there, Vent Gardens are a bit underwhelming.

[west mountain]

When I first went down there and the music kicked in I shivered. I find it an epic place. Yes, the vent gardens could need some more action, they dont do anything. Thats a bit sad. But hey, I am happy they are there.

[west mountain]

No, it has Cathedral. Thats the theme of the Tree Spires biome

[steel shoal]

I know, I know

I just really like Twisty Bridges

The whole OST is amazing

[west mountain]

Yes, the music is excellent.

[fervent bloom]

I quite liked the concept of them rising off the ground during the day and moving toward the surface, then settling back down over their vents at night.

[west mountain]

Exactly something like that, or just lifting the foot occasionally or re-positioning themselves. Yes, something like that.

[fervent bloom]

I would indeed love to see them exhibit more activity. They're essentially terrain, unfortunately....

[undone lantern]

just got both subnauticas for 14 pounds 💯💯

[west mountain]

Hours and hours of fun!!!

[undone lantern]

YEAHHH!!!

[livid plover]

Where I found the beacon?

[rough vortex]

I want them to move from vent to vent lol.

Cause as they are. They aren't really "fauna" they are more like a really big statue that happens to have another leviathan near it

Wish you could build in em lol

[next current]

Various caches in the early game biomes have beacons to pick up, scan, and even get its blueprint from a data box.

[west mountain]

Yes you can but very tight

[rough vortex]

Tiny base

[molten siren]

@west mountain check DMs I DMed you the error I was getting

[fervent bloom]

I'm going to find another type of fauna to raise in my Alien Containment Unit. Does anyone have suggestions?

[proud slate]

What do you have right now?

[fervent bloom]

I've hatched a sea monkey, a brute shark, a titan holefish, and a brinewing, though only the latter two are inside right now.

[proud slate]

Hm, neat. I like the cryptosuchus, but other than that I don't have any suggestions.

[fervent bloom]

Perhaps I'll go get a cryptosuchus egg, then.

[proud slate]

Sick.

[fervent bloom]

I found the ||squidshark eggs||, too, but I don't want to hatch them yet. I don't know where to release them.

[proud slate]

||void||

[fervent bloom]

I don't like to mess with the fauna in each biome too much, and I already have a wild squidshark near one of my bases.

[proud slate]

fair

[steel shoal]

Triops person!

It is with great pleasure that I announce that I've finally 100% the game. I finally have all music CDs, blueprints and trivalves! (+ scans)

[fervent bloom]

Congratulations! Which trivalves were the hardest to find?

[steel shoal]

Honestly

It wasn't hard

I found them by accident

I just tried visiting some weird caves I've never been to

[fervent bloom]

In general, that's a good method for finding things on 4546B.

[steel shoal]

Stumbled upon them while trying to look for Phi robotics--

[fervent bloom]

Intriguing... I don't think I've found those yet.

[steel shoal]

They were in a huge iceberg on the way there

I had to use other icebergs as ramps and all

It was weird seeing Thermal Lillies in the middle of nowhere

[fervent bloom]

There's one iceberg in the East Arctic that has one at random in an otherwise barren field of snow, in a small alcove.

What was the last disk/blueprint/scan/egg you discovered that marked your 100% completion?

[steel shoal]

CD was Parvan's... I missed it, somehow. It was also my favorite CD. Blueprint was the booster tank, scan was and egg too

[fervent bloom]

Other than ||Al-an's components|| (I decided to skip that part of the story on this playthrough), I believe the last blueprint I got was the water filtration suit. Are you sure you got all of the PDAs?

[steel shoal]

I think so, but I'd need to check the wiki for that

Maybe tomorrow I'll do it

[fervent bloom]

Would you suggest the reinforced dive suit for ||Crystal Caves|| exploration?

[steel shoal]

It is very redundant when you already have a Prawn suit. Water Filtration Suit will do you well

[fervent bloom]

I don't actually have a Prawn suit; I have the blueprint, but I wanted to try exploring without it.

[steel shoal]

Ahhh

Well it's kinda useless there

There aren't many hot spots

[fervent bloom]

I thought it reduced damage from attacks...

[steel shoal]

You get damaged??

You silly, just be more careful!

[fervent bloom]

Being careful is difficult when the area is inhabited by large, aggressive creatures.

[carmine bobcat]

Just got bz, I love that however many penglings I kidnap they always come back

[split blade]

Anyone willing to call and help a brother out just downloaded the game

[fervent bloom]

What do you need?

[split blade]

A little bit of help

With a little bit of everything

I played the first subnuatica and idrc for spoilers it’s whatever

Nothing in specific

[fervent bloom]

Well, what do you want to start with?

[split blade]

The beginner stuff

How do i use spoiler stuff to hide what I say

So I can list a few

[fervent bloom]

Put || on each end.

[split blade]

||Sea Glider, Base habitats tool, sea truck, and island explorations||

Those are my main focus atm

[fervent bloom]

Okay! (By the way, I don't think those need spoiler tags.)

[split blade]

Just being safe

Some people might play this game before the first so just wanna be as friendly as posssible

[fervent bloom]

There are Seaglide fragments all around the Shallow Twisty Bridges and main Twisty Bridges. They're probably easier to find than in the first game; if you want a specific location, there should be some around the Emergency Supply Cache.

[split blade]

Where is that🫨

[fervent bloom]

Head west from the drop pod (it would be to the right when you enter the water) and you should get a beacon for it.

[split blade]

Ohhhhh

Im dumb

[fervent bloom]

Habitat builder fragments are found in several different locations, but always near ||Alterra structures||. You only need one - the easiest place to find it is probably on ||a crate on Delta Island||.

[split blade]

Well I need silver first so I can make a compass

Im on Xbox so I cant download any mods for it

[fervent bloom]

Delta Station Dock (you should get a beacon) is near a biome called the Thermal Spires. ||Seatruck fragments|| are scattered around the area, though they are also found in the ||Twisty Bridges||.

[fervent bloom]

In this game, silver is found in argentite outcrops, which use the same model as shale in Subnautica.

In particular, what do you need regarding exploration of the island?

[graceful thunder]

Im following this guide https://youtu.be/MpuEdjrHG2Q?si=kYMx6-ptpBfH3puq and all the locations are empty, but I’m 2/3? Is there more locations or am I screwed?

[fervent bloom]

I haven't watched the video, but there should be more than enough in the ||Deep Twisty Bridges||.

[graceful thunder]

Yep that’s where I am at but there’s like 0 fragments and I’ve been here for about half an hour

[fervent bloom]

Have you been able to find fabricator module fragments?

[graceful thunder]

yes

[fervent bloom]

I would check more of those to make sure they aren't storage module fragments.

[graceful thunder]

i scan every one

istg its clipped into the ground or something

[fervent bloom]

I don't have any advice other than "keep looking", and perhaps this: are there any parts of the biome that you haven't been looking in?

[graceful thunder]

doesnt feel like it

is it possible the game despawned the fragments? ive watched 2 guides showing 5 different spots where one should be and its not there

[split blade]

The one where the ||other human is that we meet||

[split blade]

They have chances to spawn there just like subnuatica

[graceful thunder]

istg theres just not any... ive been around basically the entire biome

is there a way i can just cheat it in

[fervent bloom]

Try unlock seatruckstoragemodule.

[graceful thunder]

ty, ill try that

with the key next to 1 right

[fervent bloom]

Have you explored part of the island?

[fervent bloom]

What?

[graceful thunder]

the console thingy?

[fervent bloom]

It's in the dev console, though I don't know how to activate it in your setup.

[graceful thunder]

okay! thanks friend

[next current]

Just so you know that cheating while playing on Steam will disable achievements.

[graceful thunder]

i dont really care about achievements so-

i'd rather keep my sanity-

[brave wharf]

best seatruck modules?

[nocturne sable]

literally have not played BZ in 6 months i forgot what to do

[worn pasture]

Rip

Imma leave you to figure it out on your own

[nocturne sable]

i guess i will

probably better anyway

oh well thats just nice

[novel raft]

Storage and crafting

• prawn thing

[young cargo]

Docking module 🤓👆

[novel raft]

What that?

[nocturne sable]

chelicerate

[novel raft]

Ty

[raw nebula]

what's this

[clever crow]

the thing.

[raw nebula]

Unusual or common?

[mellow geode]

have you tried scanning it

[clever crow]

they just sit there and you can't scan them. i always thought those are seeds/sprouts of lilies

[mellow geode]

hmm, been a while since i played bz

[worn pasture]

A thing

[nocturne sable]

alien plant

[raw nebula]

idk what's thing...

[worn pasture]

Yes

[bold monolith]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Mace_Plant

[clever crow]

oh the all-knowing ignis, thank you for the enlightenment

[raw nebula]

Things that can't be scanned?

[novel raft]

Yes if they are to little (insert joke) or are not relevant or terrian are not scannable

[bold monolith]

I don't recall every single plant's names. I had to look for it.

[raw nebula]

Thanks for letting me know.

[mellow geode]

interestingly the mace plant is not listed in the flora page

[bold monolith]

Indeed. I had to go to the Lilypads page.

[mellow geode]

i guess nobody's updating the wiki anytime soon

[mellow geode]

still less rare than purple pine cones

[bold monolith]

It took me 5 minutes to find one though.

I looked for its real name before checking where they are.

[mellow geode]

isn't there that effect or something where when you're not looking for something it appears all the time, and when you're specifically looking for it, you can't find it?

[raw nebula]

greed sensor

[livid plover]

If I make a survival game become custom, does the story mode deactivate or something like that?

[steel shoal]

I think the only difference is that you won't get achievements

[livid plover]

o ok
It's because I want to test things and I don't want my story mode progress to be disabled.

[mellow geode]

your story progression won't be affected, unless you use console commands to give yourself stuff that advances the story

[knotty coyote]

am so happy that this game exists

[steel shoal]

I'm certain it's happy as well, just look at brute sharks with their big smile

[mellow geode]

you'd think they have more teeth

[gloomy lodge]

yeah most sharks are know to have hundereds of teeth

[steel shoal]

Sharks on Earth have multiple rows of teeth that don't last much longer than weeks, 4546B wildlife seems to have evolved stronger, thicker teeth that aren't as easily dislodged

[mellow geode]

only in the arctic zone
meanwhile back at the crater, stalkers have evolved to lose and regrow teeth in seconds

[tight thunder]

Is BZ worth it?

[mellow geode]

it is, especially now since it's on sale on steam

[tight thunder]

Okay

I'll get it later today

[mellow geode]

protip for steam, buy the bundle instead of the solo game, that gives you more discount and you won't get charged for games/etc that you already own in the bundle

[brave wharf]

I gotta say, the prawn suit in bz feels a lot smoother

[mellow geode]

it did come out after sn, so the devs have had more experience

[tight thunder]

Is there a point? I already own the first game

Oh

I misread

Gtg talk later

[rustic hinge]

And right now it's like 70% off XD

[mellow geode]

more reason to get the ultimate collection

[fervent bloom]

Are there any other unscannable plants with official names that aren't on the wiki?

[mellow geode]

except that it's on the wiki

just not linked to the flora page

[fervent bloom]

I know - however, there are some where that isn't the case.

[mellow geode]

such as?

[fervent bloom]

Well, there are some on the wiki with names such as Hanging Plant or Deep Lilypads Flower 03. I was wondering if those were the official names, or if there was an alternative term.

You're right, though; I can't think of any plants that aren't on the wiki at all.

[worn pasture]

GG

:p

Um

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say

Billing address is kinda visible...

Like the top...

I'm sorta worried rn

[eternal garnet]

oh, game goes to north korea! nice

[worn pasture]

Is this the him himself?

[eternal garnet]

of course

[worn pasture]

Sir, i think you might be on some watchlist now :p

Ignore a missile, the entire NK military

There's a 1 in a trillion precent chance they will spare you

[mellow geode]

why do you have a fps counter on your phone lol

[undone lantern]

how do i get into margs back area

[fervent bloom]

You need to make the test override module and ||disable the comm tower||.

[undone lantern]

ok

[mellow geode]

that sounds so wrong

[eternal garnet]

that takes you to her greenhouse, after that you can go in the kitchen

[undone lantern]

ok

[mellow geode]

what if you go back to lilypads directly

[eternal garnet]

first door is locked

because she isn't home

[mellow geode]

so you're forced to go to the greenhouse

just ignore us lol

go catch your arctic peepers and eat them

[fervent bloom]

No, there's more to the story.

[mellow geode]

that, amongst other things

that's a lot of arctic peepers

go explore, you'll discover other food sources

[fervent bloom]

They'll respawn, so you can never drive them to extinction.

[novel raft]

Bro doesnt understand that its called suffocating

Nein dont be sad

Its okay not everyone is an english nativ speaker

[molten siren]

Can you turn around in the swivel chair?

[mellow geode]

yes

[novel raft]

No

[mellow geode]

same way you move left/right

[mellow geode]

trolling isn't welcome in this server

[fervent bloom]

It doesn't give you more rotation than another chair or a bench, though.

[novel raft]

Idk what game you have but last time i played it didnt work

[molten siren]

How do you do that?

It's not working

[lime grove]

since when you can spin in the chair

[mellow geode]

how do you walk left/right?

[molten siren]

A and D

and I'm doing that and nothing is happening

[mellow geode]

sec imma test

[molten siren]

I don't think u can spin

[mellow geode]

odd

must've confused it with SN, because you can spin in SN

i stand corrected

[eternal garnet]

the swivel chair is known for not swiveling

[lime grove]

scam

spinny chair is not spinnying

[mellow geode]

odd that my swivel chair does swivel in SN then

[novel raft]

Trolling is not welcome in this Community

[steel stream]

Like Fishy said, you can rotate similarly in any chair, svivel chair is no different to others

[mellow geode]

that's looking around, not rotating

[mellow geode]

people make mistakes, which is the case here. no need to get snide.

[tight thunder]

I got the ultimate bundle

Costed me $21 instead of the usual $62

[mellow geode]

nice

[brave wharf]

how many ion cubes do I need to hang onto for story progression

[fervent bloom]

I'm not entirely sure - based on some simple research, you only need one for ||Al-An's vessel||, but I would keep a few extras as well. Another is used to activate the ||Architect teleporter|| from the ||Arctic Spires||, though this is not essential to the story.

[brave wharf]

just wondering if I upgrade my power sources for all of my tools, seatruck, and prawn, will I have plenty to spare?

[west mountain]

You will be fine and you can always deconstruct them to retrieve an ion cube.

Or any other material.

[cunning finch]

Aye quick question
Whats the red mushroom biome under the giant lilypad island called?
I'm trying to find nickel and i'm not sure i'm in the right place
There's psychedelic fish here and i'm slightly alarmed

[mellow geode]

literally deep lilypads cave

[fervent bloom]

It's called the ||Deep Lilypads Cave||. If you're looking for nickel, it's probably easiest to find in the ||Lilypads Crevice||.

[steel shoal]

I like to call it the Cotton Anemone Cove

[cunning finch]

The description of that i found on google doesnt fit-
But good to know i'm apparently where i was trying to go

[mellow geode]

i like to call it accidental drowning cave

[cunning finch]

Both fitting names

[fervent bloom]

It's indeed very easy to get lost in and/or drown. My personal favorite name is Glowy Pink Planty World.

[cunning finch]

Ima call it the shroom zone
Cause psychedelic fish

[mellow geode]

especially when your sea truck doesn't have enough depth so you yolo it to the bottom layer on your seaglide, then can't find your way back up

[fervent bloom]

That is exactly what happens there. I know that thought process well.

[sacred jungle]

I dont enjoy just zooming around there and then i see a ||sharksquid||

[mellow geode]

What's a ||sharksquid?||

[fervent bloom]

At least there's only one; they're one of my favorite creatures, so I like seeing them even though they're dangerous. That said, what is it with squidsharks and spikey traps occurring in the same biomes?

[mellow geode]

||a squid with a shark's body?||

[fervent bloom]

I'm sure you know that it's the same thing as a squidshark.

[mellow geode]

Right, I derped

So is it a shark with a squid's body?

[fervent bloom]

It's a combination, I believe.

[steel stream]

Coming back to this after testing... tested the svivel chair in first game, and I was only able to turn my head, same as with command chair. So at least in the current version it doesn't spin

[steel shoal]

Swivel chairs don't swivel.

[rustic hinge]

Ventgarden is so cool omg

[fervent bloom]

This is very true. Have you seen the juveniles?

[eternal garnet]

have you... examined the bottom properly

[fervent bloom]

@chrome onyx There's a creature in Below Zero that takes inspiration from Anomalocaris: it's called a pinnacarid.

[chrome onyx]

it has a similar body shape i guess

[fervent bloom]

I think the main part is the fins on the sides. Still, I suppose it's not as closely based on the animal as it could be.

[chrome onyx]

Yeah the size is off and the mandibles and mouth are vastly different

[fervent bloom]

It's also based on seals and sea lions, and I don't know what exactly the mandibles are from.

[chrome onyx]

The pengwing I think

[mellow geode]

benedict cumberbatch has entered the chat

[fervent bloom]

I believe the pinnacarid's mouth opens vertically, though, and the pengwing has dental spines inside its beak rather than mandibles like the pinnacarid.

[eternal garnet]

origins of the pengwing name: search YT for cumberbatch penguins

[chrome onyx]

Yes but I believe they're supposed to be distantly related hence the resemblance but not identicality

[fervent bloom]

I see... I could imagine them being relatives.

[knotty coyote]

hey when i used cafe maker it openned me this and didnt give any cafe like in subnautica 1, can anyone help?

[fervent bloom]

You need to put a thermos inside - it will fill it with coffee.

[knotty coyote]

ohh thanks

[steel shoal]

You find it on the ground

[chrome cedar]

In certain locations

[fervent bloom]

I would look in the ||Thermal Spires||.

[chrome cedar]

More in the ||purple vents|| right next door.

[graceful thunder]

How much power does a bioreactor give per second? with 2 bioreactors im struggling with power

i only got 2 water filters running

do i just say "f*** it" and go nuclear power

[fervent bloom]

I'm not sure... I think it's slightless less than a water filtration machine. You could supplement them with some solar panels near the surface, connected with transmitters.

[graceful thunder]

yeah solar panels will prob work, my base isnt too deep 🤷‍♂️

[chrome cedar]

Base only draws power from one source at a time. You get a slight edge once one power source is depleted and power will bounce between the second source and the first again, if the first is still charging up somehow.

Yes

[fervent bloom]

According to the wiki (it can be unreliable), a bioreactor produces 50 energy/minute and a water filtration machine uses 51 energy/minute. Therein lies the problem.

[graceful thunder]

-_-

ill make a single panel

[chrome cedar]

Scary, but not terrible dangerous. They distract easily, just swim away from them.

[graceful thunder]

they're called cryptosuchus and they're a LOT more bark than bite, hit em once and they swim away

[chrome cedar]

That’s actually a testament to how good the game is. It draws you in very well.

[fervent bloom]

I do prefer it, actually, though both are fantastic games. What makes you like Below Zero more?

It's a very nice game to enjoy even without the story. I think resources are typically easier to find in this game; the different outcrops may be confusing, though.

I don't like the mineral detector much, but I'm glad it works for you! There's more calaverite near Delta Station Dock, if you want it.

No, it's the dock on the island.

Exactly!

The Arctic Kelp Caves are another good place to find it, as you know.

[broken badge]

If it’s gold you need, there’s tons of it (well the rocks for it, but you’ll get enough by chance alone) if you go down the back way behind the ||quarters on top of Delta island, just take the back stairways down and you’ll end up in a set of caves where there’s tons of those outcrops that yield gold|| it’s also a good place to scan the skyrays if you care about that, they sometimes get stuck in the cave geometry lol

[fervent bloom]

I love that spot. There's also a ||Spy Pengling site|| in the same caves.

[broken badge]

Yeah, but you won’t have it unless you come back for it. Or do the story out of order😅

[fervent bloom]

Or, you could come back to ||Delta|| and find it after you have a Spy Pengling.

[broken badge]

Which makes me wonder if it was something from early access when things were different. I didn’t have the game in early access since I don’t play on PC

[broken badge]

That’s what I said, unless you come back for it

[fervent bloom]

I know, but what if you return to ||Delta|| for something else and only discover it the second time you're there?

[broken badge]

Iirc it’s just diamonds

Inside the bot cave, is it not?

[fervent bloom]

Yes... it could drive someone who has the mineral detector but doesn't know about the Spy Pengling insane.

[broken badge]

I think I’d already given up on the mineral detector by then😂

[fervent bloom]

I don't like it, but I think it works well for some people.

[broken badge]

Yeah. No harm in using what you like for these games. Personal preferences and all that

I mean, I like the snowfox for some stuff

I always make it

[fervent bloom]

I haven't made any vehicles other than the Seatruck and a storage module in my current game.

[fresh oriole]

Okay, where can I find magnetite?

[graceful thunder]

t can be found in Ore Veins and Spy Pengling crevices in the Arctic Spires and Glacial Basin areas, in the Deep Lilypads Cave on the wall and ceilings (though only a few spawn here), and on the floor of the Crystal Caves.

[sacred jungle]

I think because they both have tentacles

[carmine bobcat]

I scanned the || Juvenile Sea Emperor || is there a way to scan an Adult? I didn‘t get a prompt at their mum

[eternal garnet]

there isn't, but also wrong chat

[molten siren]

Looks like hell ngl

Also, I went to the void part/dead zone and I saw 2 chelacerates and they destroyed my seatruck but thankfully my fabricator module, docking module and prawn remained intact. Then I came back with another seatruck and I had to die like 500 times just to dock onto the fabricator module and then escape from them 💀 . I'm never going back there again.

[eternal garnet]

therefore blocking your progress.
Save often, and this is a prime reason

oh void. yes you don't need to go there

No progress blocked, but save 4 times an hour

[molten siren]

why does it not let me build here?

oh nvm, it has to be connected to smth

[carmine bobcat]

I just noticed, sorry

[molten siren]

bruh, I have this glitch where it doesn't let me drive my seatruck

wtf is this bruh

And it gets me stuck

and I have to unstuck, like bruh how do I fix this

Do I just leave and rejoin?

[eternal garnet]

how long has it been saving?

[molten siren]

I just saved it recently

[eternal garnet]

You can "unstuck" up to 10 times

[molten siren]

oh

[eternal garnet]

did it finish saving?

[molten siren]

yeah

I just left and now I'm rejoining

I hope this stupid glitch is fixed

ok it works now

phew, I thought I was gonna have to do some debugging

I have a question, you know the modules right? The more you put, the slower the seatruck goes. How much does 1 module slow down the seatruck?

[fervent bloom]

Does it reset at a certain point?

[eternal garnet]

the full answer in the graph. 2 modules full speed, then speed drops with each

[eternal garnet]

The game records unstuck points as you move, and keeps the last 10 always. Even after load game

[fervent bloom]

I'm probably misunderstanding: do you run out of "Unstucks" after you've used it 10 times?

[eternal garnet]

yes, if you do them quickly

then the game adds new ones

[fervent bloom]

Okay, thank you. I wonder how quickly you need to do it.

[molten siren]

Probably just spam like a crazy madman.

@eternal garnet Why am I not allowed to stream subnautica in the public vc?

[molten siren]

Does the horsepower upgrade even do anything?

[steel shoal]

Screensharing is disabled in this server.

[molten siren]

oh

[steel shoal]

It helps with the 3rd module

[molten siren]

Wdym 3rd module?

ohhu mean carrying the third module?

[steel shoal]

Yes

@fervent bloom It seems I'm missing quite a few PDA entries...

And by a few I mean a ton

[fervent bloom]

Well, then you have more to do. Are you going to specifically search them out, or just keep exploring and try to find them?

[steel shoal]

I don't know how to get them

It literally makes no sense

I'm missing these entries: ||Sam's necklace, Drop Pod, Finally, some speed, Interesting photos, Landed, More alike than not, Sabotaged Lab, Sam's Exile, Sam's last mission, Saying Goodbye, Spy Pengling Debris, The Gift of the Sea Monkey (2), Woman in an Exosuit||

They're progression based entries, and I've heard Robin saying them, but they're not in my PDA

[fervent bloom]

Oh, I see. Are they in a different section of the PDA?

[steel shoal]

No

They're supposed to be in "Sam" or "Personal Logs"

[fervent bloom]

That seems like the right place... you could start a new game and not save it, but some of them you should get quickly (for example, Drop Pod).

[steel shoal]

On the other hand, I'm also missing "Vehicle Upgrade Console"

[fervent bloom]

I've never made that in Below Zero for obvious reasons. Have you?

[steel shoal]

I have, I enjoy prawn arms

[steel shoal]

Okay, apparently, they don't give PDA entries anymore, just voice messages for the log

[carmine bobcat]

Alg br

Ninguém?

[fervent bloom]

You can make those in the fabricator, can't you?

[steel shoal]

I do speak Portuguese, but this in an English-only server

[carmine bobcat]

Ok

[steel shoal]

I didn't see them, but even if you could, don't you like painting your prawn?

[fervent bloom]

This makes sense, at least. I'm glad it wasn't a bug.

[steel shoal]

It probably is a bug

Personal Log only has 5 entries now

[fervent bloom]

I can never decide which colors to make it; I think you can make arms elsewhere, since I never made a moonpool and had the drill and grappling arms in my last game.

[steel shoal]

You can never go wrong with baby pink

[molten siren]

I have a suggestion for devs

Basically, add a game mechanic where you can see your stats as in miles driven, miles swam, fishes killed, creatures killed[with exact names] and vehicles destroyed, and how many deaths and from what.

[worn pasture]

Imo, mot a bad idea :o

[wise apex]

not going to lie that is a pretty good idea

[molten siren]

Yeah because then you can know more about your progress.

[worn pasture]

Ye

Maybe Also set yourself costume goals with stats

[molten siren]

yeah, like setting goals to how many copper you want to collect

[worn pasture]

Or how many crashfish you killed

[wise apex]

thats what im sayin cuz i don't rember why im at a spot if i do not recall telling myself to go there

[worn pasture]

Haha

Same here :p

[wise apex]

the dory duo

[molten siren]

Exactly lmao

Also devs should add a mechanic to be able to put post it notes in your base or in your HUD/GUI.

[worn pasture]

Trio*

[wise apex]

wait wat we talkin about

i kinda dozed off

[worn pasture]

xD

[molten siren]

bro really said "I forgor 💀 "

Crashfish are the most annoying fish in the game(thumbs up if you agree).

[worn pasture]

Rainbow peeper

[wise apex]

you never know where they are comin

[molten siren]

lol

[wise apex]

but 🍑

they will make you jump out of our skin

[worn pasture]

💀

[molten siren]

Where do you find thermal suit in subnautica below zero?

[worn pasture]

You mean reinforced dive suit?

[molten siren]

I think

[worn pasture]

Ahh

Idk

Ask Sylveon

[wise apex]

ooooo i don't rember i havin played subnautica for over a copule of months

[worn pasture]

Idk how to get da thing

[wise apex]

i forgor

[worn pasture]

Ask tigrinum

[fervent bloom]

Are you looking for the cold suit? It's found ||Zeta's bedroom|| in ||Phi Robotics||.

[worn pasture]

Ohh

[molten siren]

Phi Robotics? Where's that?

[worn pasture]

I thought they were talking about the reinforced dive suit

[fervent bloom]

You can try to find it with the map in Delta Station.

[molten siren]

There's a map at delta station?

[eternal garnet]

yes. scan it. And one more in another base

[molten siren]

Where is this map?

[eternal garnet]

on the wall in the room with the jukebox

[molten siren]

Where?

What room?

[eternal garnet]

usually the first room you find

in the base on top. maybe you didn't find this

[molten siren]

I went to the base on top

I couldn't find any map 💀

Or maybe I didn't look in the right place

[worn pasture]

Are you in the || delta station dock? ||

[molten siren]

no, not yet

[worn pasture]

You need to go there for the thing they are talking about

[night cairn]

yo

[cunning finch]

Yo quick question can quartz be found on land near ||phi robotics||? Im just hoping i dont gotta go all the way back to my base for it

[worn pasture]

Idk

[worn pasture]

I think so but I'm not sure

Nah he's just chilling

[night cairn]

yes

[sacred jungle]

I dont think so, its just in there but not docked.

[molten siren]

Do you die if your water level goes to zero?

[bold monolith]

If you can't move it I would try to reload.

[steel shoal]

No, you start losing 10 HP every few seconds, I think

[sacred jungle]

Have you tried entering through the front by going into you base to the dock?

[sacred jungle]

Thats hypothermia right?

[bold monolith]

Not instantly. But it removes your health so you can't stay that way for long.

[cunning finch]

Well, i was looking in snow stalker area, but i went back to ||phi|| and found like, five literally just outside. So apparently yes

[steel shoal]

Thirst

[eternal garnet]

hypothermia means unhealthy dangerously low body temperature

[sacred jungle]

Idk why i thought he meant his o2 meter @eternal garnet @steel shoal

[steel shoal]

o2 is probably asphyxiation...

[sacred jungle]

Confused in words i never hears exept ashpyxiation because subnautica voiceline

[molten siren]

This map?

[steel shoal]

What about it?

[molten siren]

Where is phi robotics?

And what is the delta station marked as?

[steel shoal]

It's the phi symbol

[molten siren]

oh

[steel shoal]

And delta symbol

[molten siren]

so the cyan one?

[steel shoal]

They're greek letters

[molten siren]

ik

[steel shoal]

phi is green, delta is yellow

[molten siren]

What is that brown thingy?

[steel shoal]

Koppa

[molten siren]

Koppa mining station?

[steel shoal]

Yes

[molten siren]

oh

What about the purple one?

[fervent bloom]

That's ||Outpost Zero||.

[molten siren]

this is so annoying

anyone know how to fix this?

[eternal garnet]

Sir, you can't park there

push it with the prawn

or, load your RECENT save

[molten siren]

oh it works

[molten siren]

How do I do that?

[eternal garnet]

shoot titanium at it with the prop cannon

[eternal garnet]

just exit with no save. When you exit, it says how long ago you saved

[molten siren]

ok I used prawn

[eternal garnet]

so "item propulsioncannon"

[molten siren]

thanks for help

[eternal garnet]

now you have it

[molten siren]

uh excuse me, please exit my vehicle sir

[fervent bloom]

I see that someone wants to warm up.

[eternal garnet]

this damages the truck. check it

and keep shooting

[molten siren]

Outpost zero, what's that?

[eternal garnet]

p-cannon has a key for "load item"

[eternal garnet]

on the map, north east. Entrance is hidden

underwater

[molten siren]

north east underwater

[eternal garnet]

Only the entrance is underwater

see 0 on the map?

[molten siren]

wdym 0?

yeah that 0 thingy?

[eternal garnet]

if its north-east, yes

[molten siren]

Northeast from where?
